Swan Song - Terrain.org

Per ancient legend, a swan sings most beautifully at the end of its life. While this notion has been debunked, the phrase “swan song” has come to represent an individual’s last act before death, or their final opus before retirement, particularly if it is interpreted as meaningful, contemplative, or somehow prescient. Famous examples include Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9; Frida Kahlo’s final painting, Viva La Vida; and Kurt Vonnegut’s 2005 essay collection, A Man Without a Country.
